Monarchs

Acrea Moth, Estigmene acrea

<= this is a photo from Wikipedia. I was curious, after someone ID'd the caterpillar for me. There are a great many people who know these things!

And a new one for me. It's a white moth, as an adult, with black spots and an underwing. I'm going to try watch it morph. It's in my aquarium. Eating and pooping!

And the kids...

They are taking a 5-week trip on reward points from Ottawa to Chicago, then overseas to Turkey, Ethiopia, on safari in Tanzania, then a week in Paris, quick flight to Zurich, a half day in Singapore, and now Kuala Lumpur! These photos, the first is leaving Singapore. The last photo, Kuala Lumpur!

Hello, I wanna go with the kids. Sounds like an awesome trip! Wonderful butterfly and caterpillars sightings. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thanks also for the comment on my post.

The life cycle always is amazing to me, and as the monarch cocoons darken, I wait, wanting it to happen faster... to see those huge wings unfold, and the butterfly flutter them to dry out.The others, this is very special, and for you to see them all, wonderful.
